Prevents Fastener Round-Off

6-Point Socket Grips Sides

Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener's flat sides, rather than its corners.

Secure Drive Tool Engagement

  • Four detent grooves provide a secure connection with the retaining ball of a drive tool
  • Beveled inner rims help guide the socket onto other tools

High Torque Strength

Meets minimum value of 1.3 times the ANSI standard for Proof Torque. Verified by a single-cycle test that applies torque until specified value is reached without failure or permanent deformation.
